Dancehall artist Shatta Wale has voiced his dissatisfaction over people comparing him to rapper Sarkodie in the music business.
He finds it confusing that certain well-known individuals in the nation compare him to other musicians like Stonebwoy or Sarkodie in an attempt to decide who is the greatest in the business.
Sarkodie, according to Shatta Wale, is not nearly as successful as he is in the music business because he became well-known before the rapper started his career.
He described the comparisons as “stupidity.”
“This is stupid, why would you compare me to Stonebwoy or Sarkodie? When I became popular in 2004, Stonebwoy was nowhere to be found. The people you are comparing me to is like I’m in JHS 3 and you’re comparing me to a class four pupil.
“I’m a good person that’s why Nana Aba Aba Anamaoh said it. If Sarkodie is the biggest artiste that’s fine but don’t involve me. If you are not well-informed about an issue don’t comment on it,” he warned while speaking in a TikTok live session.
His response follows Nana Aba Anamoah’s praise of Sarkodie’s faultless personality in an interview with 3Music TV, but her claim that Shatta Wale is primarily associated with scandals that damage his name.
“Sarkodie does no wrong so when I am watching him I don’t look for faults. Shatta is so sweet but the perception people have about him sometimes irks me. They think he is violent and rowdy but that’s how he portrays himself,” she said.
Shatta Wale appears to have taken offense by Nana Aba Anamoah’s remark, as he has taken to the internet to express his ire at the parallels.
